TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

Be it known that I, HENRY M. CURTIS, of Ypsilanti, in the county of Washtenaw, and State of Michigan, have invented a new and improved mode of Holding Galash Bugg -'lo.ps by Means of Combined Joints and Fastenings; and I do hereby declarethatthe'following is a full and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon, makinga part of this specification, in whieh-- Figure 1 is a perspective view of the combined joints and fastenings as applied to a buggy-top.

Figure 2 is a longitudinal view of the brace and fastening. I

Figure 3 is a section of a brace and fastening.

The nature of my invention consists in providing a combined brace and joints so as to produce a double brace, holding the top forward and upward, and keeping the top smooth, by means of an extra bra'ee and joint, as shown at A, in the accompanying drawing, running from the prop-iron in the centre of ordinary buggy-top braces at B, and so combined that the working of the joint in brace lettered C it will wolfk the jointD in brace A.

What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is i The main and counter-braces A and C, when combined or joined together, and; operating conjointly with the carriage-tops, substantially as and for the. purpose set forth.
